Friends, this is a quick recipe I created to utilize my TONS of basil growing. It's so simple and so delicious!
Ingredients, makes 1 serving:
Boneless/skinless chicken breast
1/2 lemon -- juiced
3 fresh basil leaves-chopped
1 tsp avocado oil (or olive oil or coconut oil)
salt-free lemon pepper seasoning
garlic salt
Directions:
Place oil in sauté pan, add chicken on medium heat. Sprinkle garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning on top of breast. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flip, and coat the other side with seasoning. Continue cooking until no longer pink in the middle or when it reaches an internal temp. of 165 degrees. Place on plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice on top of it, place chopped basil on top as well. Serve and enjoy!
I absolutely love this served with freshly steamed broccoli with the other 1/2 of lemon squeezed on top of it. Another great option is to serve this over rice.
If you want to be a bit more fancy-- blend the lemon juice and fresh basil with olive oil (about 1 tbs per breast), fresh garlic (1/2 clove per breast), and salt and pepper to taste. This makes a really delicious and quick sauce and can be used over chicken, shrimp, fish, etc etc. It tastes so light and flavorful and fresh. Can't wait to hear how you like this!
For 21 Day Fix folks, here are the container equivalents: 1 red, 1.5 green, 1 tsp (chicken and broccoli). If you add rice, that's 1 yellow container.
